Look in the back of truck magazines for ads.I know there are many companies.Jim Carter sells them and will order custom colors.Ask board vendors if they sell them.

Here is a possibility...I am strongly considering one of Revolution styles but I too am looking for a low profile/soft style cover. I will be watching this thread for other ideas. The Revolution has covers specificallly for our trucks.

This my leading candidate because it has an option specifically for either our SWB or LWB beds.

I know alot of guys dont like lmc but they stock one that is hinged and a regular one. Dont remember the prices though.

Bummer.

This is the one I have. Works great. Fits like a glove. Easy to install and remove. Also ask 70c10. He bought the same one for his father.

I just called Extang and the Revolution is still avaliable for our trucks. I'm so happy that I could cry!

How much is it. I couldn't find a price. I have a torn and beat up tonneau cover and was going to have the vinyl replaced but got 2 quotes for $225 and 1 quote for $450. I'm debating on getting a hard one at this point.

I did a search and made some ph calls and $399 which includes shipping is the best price that I could come with. Extang is suppose to be a top notch manufactuer...What did you come up with? I am still in the market.

That's the one I'd like but it's 3x's the price of a soft cover. If I can get someone local to go in on a second one, we'd get $30 off each. Plus they offer a military discount as well.

Brad · 08-25-2008, 01:04 PM

Heavy70, my old one is a Lund and I bought it used many years ago. I've been very happy with it until last year when it just got too worn out. Like I said, I'd rebuild it but the price quotes are the same as buying a new one.

mbgmike · 08-25-2008, 07:27 PM

We sell 4 differant companies covers. Unfortunately 3 of them are special order when you purchase them.
We do show we have the Extang Revolution in stock in the warehouse. Does not mean its really their without checking

SWB or Long? We can sell it to you for $390.00 shipped for free. If interested I will verify that it is there.
